This is an inter-service institution of the Integrated Defence Staff, an organisation responsible for fostering the coordination and enablement of prioritisation across the different branches of the Indian Armed Forces. MILIT trains officers from the three branches of the Indian Armed Forces, which are the Army, Navy, and Air Force, as well as, provides training for officers from friendly foreign countries for command and staff appointments. MILIT also conducts short term certificate courses (TTC, TSOC) for officers from the three branches.
Recently DIAT started an intensive certification program in the area of [[Cybersecurity]], Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning which lasts approximately 3 months.
